After wrapping up their season in Azores Portugal, the team switches things up a bit and makes a quick 3 day pit stop in Nova Scotia before heading home. There they meet lead crewman OB Morton and legendary fisherman James Roberts to have their go at a new species, Giant Bluefin Tuna.
OB and James have spent nearly every season in Nova Scotia over the past 15 years catching some bluefin that tip the scales at over 1000 pounds. The two have been trying to take Anthony for years. With a down motor ending the season early in Portugal, it was the perfect excuse to spend a few days trying out something new.
Each day starts early and cold. With temperatures lower than 0 Celsius some mornings. The team keeps a sharp eye out driving in the dark to the marina every morning. They’re deep in moose country now. The next 3 days produce 6 giant bluefin with one estimated at 850 pounds.
Kevin and David get a crack at the fun and Anthony gets a feel for 70+ pounds of drag on a new kind of giant. This trip wraps up the 2023 season for the team. Next stop, Ascension Island. Stay tuned to see how our team gets to an island that hasn’t been visited in 8 years by outsider fisherman.
